I think the obvious problems is that majority of riders actually have hair and from my experience the chin strap isn’t very very tightly strapped (you want to speak normally I suppose). Hair gives you considerable slip area making the inn

You maybe stayed in that house in Rome but didn’t live in it. I grew up in a 100+ year old stone and mortar house with almost 1.5m thick walls and relatively good window insulation. The problem is the thermal capacity of those walls. When t

If you're talking about Apple Intelligence that's also region locked and that's much more difficult to bypass. Device language has has nothing to do with it.

I think it was mostly because of the UI, but I don't think anyone has any data on that so it probably was a timing and combination of things. The UI redesign really was a hot topic for weeks/months on slashdot but unfortunately th

Disabling bluetooth usually helps there. But completely, not from the control center.

Slashdot looked a lot like HN with high information density. It was fast and easy to read all the comments. Then a redesign happened because of web 2.0 or "mobile-first" hype and most of the comments got hidden/collapsed by d

I'll never forget this. Tons of riders uploaded their rides, charted trails, routes, uploaded pictures... Without any of that data the app would have zero value. And if any of those riders knew that they'll do a rug pull later nob

I'll bet you a dollar that a bit older phones will definitely get slower and get a battery life hit. Definitely helps Apple with the upgrade cycles.

It is so fake and scripted it makes generated videos look extremely realistic and natural.

They've taxed Chinese cars to hell in EU (unfortunately), so I'm sure people are reluctant to buy a car (as a big expense) of a Chinese company with no well known track record compared to established players.

I test drove 3 and Y recently and was very impressed. They are very comfortable to ride, be in, silent, roomy and simple to operate which I cannot say the same for German cars in the same range. Those seem to be stuck in "we've bu

Ars Technica just did a nice article on purely generated videos and some of them look completely real to my eyes. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/05/ai-video-just-took-a-star...

But it has all to do with corruption. Croatia has one of the world's highest tax burdens per 1000usd earned (or at least it had from a study done some years ago) and you would think that all is is great but this couldn't be furthe

And it so annoying because it steals focus so as you're writting a message it suddenly stops taking your input and "helpfully" continues typing your text into the password box.

Unfortunately like every city in Egypt. They have a hand permanently on a horn button.

That city was the first place where I saw a guy traffic splitting with a car. It was an ancient topolino, but my jaw dropped as he was snaking through traffic like on a moped.

I always wondered if “we won’t sell your data” means literally just that. They promise they won’t sell it but, what’s stopping them from giving it away for free? Moreover, they could establish another company, give them data for free, and t

There is a whole industry in Croatia specializing in EU money extraction. Hundreds of agencies writing proposals to get grants for their clients and taking their cut. Tons of those are grifts with money directly landing into people's p

I had over 90 scores, and only when I get earlier in bed and if there are medications involved. you do feel like you had a great sleep so for me it's very accurate.

That well might be true. But what about the people upu communicate with? They have messages from you, and probably don't have airgapped backups. So your ironclad backups don't matter much.

Anecdata but I agree. Had two spine surgeries at two highly regarded places and those surgeons had no clue whatsoever on the recovery. They've fixed their part and the rehab part is someone else's problem. Luckily I have a good th
